1001 Nights - June 21, 2024
Step into an enchanting world of magic and adventure during the "1001 Night Swim". On June 21, we are organizing an evening swimming trip in the sea together with the Katwijk rescue brigade ! Prepare for a new 'water experience' as you swim 1001 meters under the stars.
Date: June 21 - Location: Strandpost Zuid - Katwijkse Rescue Brigade - Boulevard Zeezijde 45 - 2225 BB Katwijk
Provisional Program:
The 1001 Night Swim:
Fairytale Swimming Tour: Experience the night during the 1001 meter swim. Accompanied by the rescue brigade, the moon and luminous buoys in the sea. Be enchanted by the water and the luminous buoys that guide you.
Safety comes first: Each participant is required to swim with a swimming buoy and a light. Watercraft and experienced swimmers provide guidance.
Lighted Buoys: Each buoy on the water lights up and moves with the swimmers. This also makes the trip more special for those on the beach. Swim through the sea of lanterns as you reach the 1001 meter milestone.
Festive Closing: After the swim, the tunes will greet you and we will end with a drink and a dance under the stars.
How can you participate?
Participation is possible from the age of 12 (including supervision of an adult) and in possession of a swimming diploma B. It is mandatory to participate in the safety briefings of the rescue brigade and to use a swimming buoy with a light during the trip. Each participant receives a light at the start of the organization. You can bring your own buoy or buy it on the SKIFFA website. This buoy is the only swimming buoy produced in the Netherlands.
Tickets can be purchased in the online SKIFFA shop:
What you need to bring?
Be sure to bring your enthusiasm and the sun. It is also important not to forget your swimming clothes, bring a towel, swimming goggles and a swimming buoy. You can swim with or without a swimming cap. The organization arranges the lights for the buoy. You can of course also take your own lamp or flashlight if you swim more often in the evening/night.
We look forward to welcoming you to the "1001 Night Swim" event. Let the night start with a splash!
